Siphon Life Siphon Life

Warlock · Affliction · Row 5 of 7 · Single rank
Changed from Classic Active ability

Siphon Life sits in row 5 of the Warlock Affliction tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It costs just one point. So the only question is whether opening its row fits your build.

Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.

What Siphon Life does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Transfers 11 health from the target to the caster every 3 sec. Lasts 30 sec.

How to reach Siphon Life

Row 5 opens after you spend 20 points in the earlier Affliction rows. Level 30 is the earliest you can pick up Siphon Life.

Is Siphon Life worth the points?

One point gives you the full effect. The real cost is opening row 5. That is 20 points in the rows above, so take it when the talent or the picks it unlocks suits your build.

What it unlocks

Once Siphon Life is maxed, it opens this talent deeper in the tree: Wrack.
